Psalms 119:66-75 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

66. Give me the knowledge to make wise decisions. I trust your commands.

67. Before I suffered, I did many wrong things. But now I carefully obey everything you say.

68. You are good, and you do good things. Teach me your laws.

69. People full of pride made up lies about me. But I keep obeying your instructions with all my heart.

70. Those people are so stupid that they care for nothing, but I enjoy studying your teachings.

71. Suffering was good for me; I learned your laws.

72. Your teachings are worth more to me than a thousand pieces of silver and gold.

73. With your hands you made me and helped me become what I am. Now help me learn and understand your commands.

74. Your followers will see me and be happy, because I trust in your word.

75. Lord, I know that your decisions are fair, and you were right to punish me.
